Scholomance dungeon guide

Overview

Scholomance is the Cult of the Damned's school of necromancy. The group works down through the lower halls past Rattlegore, Marduk Blackpool and Vectus, then reaches Ras Frostwhisper and the six teachers: Instructor Malicia, Doctor Theolen Krastinov, Lorekeeper Polkelt, The Ravenian, Lord Alexei Barov and Lady Illucia Barov. Killing all six calls out Darkmaster Gandling.

Forever keeps the 58-60 range. Scholomance is one of the Tier 0 dungeons: Gandling drops one of nine Rare helms at item level 62, and Kirtonos, Jandice, Rattlegore and Ras each have a set piece. Kormok, summoned for Lord Valthalak's Amulet, is part of the Dungeon Set 2 chain.

Tips

• Bring area damage for Jandice Barov. Her illusions die fast, and the real one is left standing.
• Kill Rattlegore early for the Viewing Room Key.
• Clear all six teachers before you expect Gandling. He appears only after the last one dies.
• If Shadow Portal sends you to a side room, fight your way back while the healer covers you.
